Been playing around with different lot traits - they get Tectonic Terror from volcanic activity, still only get uncomfortable from creepy crawlies, they do have fear from ghosts from the spooky lot trait - even if asleep. I just put the earthquake one on, but have not yet seen what that does. It seems like the lot traits themselves give fear, like trepidation fear, and then other fears when the events actually happen. Toddlers get nightmares - oddly - one got a nightmare about taking an exam in the nude - lol! The only thing the toddlers have to console themselves that I have found is a self action called 'nap?' - they just curl up wherever they are and nap, but can get nightmares then. I don't see anything that the parent can do - no console or anything. Toddlers cannot scream like child and up can. I really like it so far - finally adds some humor for one thing! The mother is a vampire and her kids are not scared of her - which is good. They also have roommates in the household and you will see them running around in fear!
